5 reasons to try sleeping naked tonight

Rosie Huntington Whitley swears by it, as does Shay Mitchell, Nick Jonas and Miranda Kerr. And considering it makes spontaneous sex way, well…sexier, there’s no wondering why so many celebs strip off before bed. But in truth, that’s not the only reason to get nude tonight. Here, we lay down all the benefits of sleeping naked.

1. Your vag will thank you for it

When we wear tight undies overnight it creates a warm, moist breeding ground for bacteria to grow down there, which can potentially cause all kinds of less-than-ideal infections. Sleeping without underwear airs everything out and helps keeps our lady bits functioning as they should.

2. You’ll get better quality zzz’s

Previous studies have shownthat the cooler the climate, the better the quality of sleep. Motive enough to skip the flannelette PJs – no matter the forecast outside. In fact, our body temp naturally declines as we doze, so wearing lots of layers makes it much harder for us to release heat.

5. It’ll boost your fertility

This one’s for the fellas: back in 2015, researchers found that men sleeping naked had higher-quality sperm than those who wore tighty-whities to bed. Again, this was put down to the temperature – testicles stay way cooler when they’re not covered.
